Where's God? Finding Him in the Small Stuff

Matthew talked about the Roman soldiers, Luke gave us the Emmaus Road, John told us about Mary Magdalene meeting Jesus in person, and Mark very intentionally wants us to know that even Peter needed to hear about Jesus' resurrection. Why Peter in particular? Let's find out!

It was obvious that the guards at the tomb on resurrection morning were spreading lies about what had happened to Jesus' body, because what they were "taught" to say by the religious leaders made no sense. Still, people believed the lie. Why? Why do people believe lies?

Such good news the angel at the tomb shared with the women who went there on resurrection morning! But when they left the tomb, they were afraid! Afraid of what exactly? At the same time, they were filled with great joy. How is that possible?

Two groups of people witnessed the angel come down from heaven and roll the stone away from Jesus' empty tomb...the women who had come to anoint Jesus' body, and the Roman guards who were charged with keeping the tomb secure. Their reactions to what they saw were completely different. How?

In this episode, we compare the original Greek manuscript of Matthew's resurrection morning account to most translations. These translations leave out the several times when Matthew wrote, "Behold!." There was a reason Matthew wrote it with the "Behold" included and when we put them back in, the whole passage comes to life in a new way!

We ask a question that has bothered some people because it seems to point to a conflict about what Jesus said to two people which seem to be mutually exclusive. But they are not and in this episode we give the clear explanation.

We combine all four gospel accounts of what happened on Resurrection morning at the tomb of Jesus without any contradictions among them. The whole story is even richer and more meaningful than the four separate accounts on their own!

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all gave us their personal account of what took place on Resurrection morning. They all agree that Jesus rose from the dead. But their stories are all a bit different. Does that matter to us as Christians?

Why is Resurrection Day one of the most overlooked parts of the Bible? Easter Sunday whizzes past us with lightning speed and then we are on to other things. It is time to slow down and take a closer look at that day, the most important day ever.

This is the final lesson looking at the Feast of Tabernacles, and all of the Feasts of the Lord series. Here we hear Jesus tell people who were attending the ceremony, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to ME to drink." And the next day after the last day, Jesus proclaims, "I Am the Light." In context, it was the perfect thing for Him to say at the perfect time. Of course.

Let's delve into the imagery which Jesus used of "living water" found in John, chapter 7. Jesus was referring to an image which the people of His day would have found very familiar because water was part of the Feast of Tabernacles observance which they commemorated every year.

Revelation chapter 7 is in many ways the fulfillment of Psalm 118. They both give a glimpse of a time when Jesus will "tabernacle" or live with His people.

Jesus said that He would give "living water" to those who came to Him and they would thirst no more. He made that statement during His visit to the temple during the Feast of Tabernacles.

God met the needs of the Jews when they were in the wilderness for 40 years after their exodus from slavery in Egypt, and by giving them an annual harvest each year, He was still taking care of them.

We talk about a Barna Survey which found that a majority of Americans do not know that Easter is associated with Jesus!

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the people shouted "Hosannas" before Him. But those were not the original Hosannas! The original Hosanna is found hundreds of years before, in Psalm 118

The Day of Atonement gave God's people a way to atone for their sins temporarily through a sacrificial lamb, but as Christians, we have a Lamb who redeems us forever.

We take a deep dive into Yom Kippur and see why it was such a solemn religious ceremony as part of the Feasts of the Lord.

A great shofar blast was heard on Mt. Sinai in Moses' day, and one will be heard when Jesus comes for the Rapture. You put two and two together and see what conclusion you reach!

Fifty days after the Feast of First Fruits, God called His people to celebrate the Feast of Weeks. They said it celebrated God giving His law. As Christians, we know it as Pentecost, when God gave His Holy Spirit.

In this episode we discuss the Jewish religious observance of First Fruits from several different standpoints, and we ask, "Where Is Jesus?" in this celebration?

Have you heard of the Feast of Unleavened Bread? It starts the day after Passover and it's important!

What was Passover like during the time of Jesus and how is it different today?
